Introduction
Proximilisation of Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) from zone 3 to zone 2
necessitates rapid evolving surgical skills to match device use and
technology application. However, ligation and reimplantation of the left
subclavian artery (LSA), the origin of which is distal and posterior,
make rerouting difficult and cumbersome. Despite, several methods being
described in the literature [1], no single approach has been
ascribed to as providing optimal access and ease of use. We describe a
rather simple technique for subclavian artery exposure and anastomosis
coupled with hybrid FET utilisation for aortic aneurysm in elective and
non-elective settings.
